Helmut

Episode 272

“Mr. Ygrel.”

[Why the silver-haired human?]

Igrel sat down on the floor and looked arrogantly at Area.

His feathers, which had just been brushed, were reflecting the light in an eerie, bright way.

After grooming them so often, all four of them have now become masters at grooming their feathers. He is at the level of a servant exclusively for Ygrel.

Charlotte and Xian’s expressions weren’t good, but Asuka’s face was full of dissatisfaction.

“At this rate, we don’t know when we will reach the central region.”

[What do you think Helmut won’t die in the meantime? Take your time and think.]

His tone was so obnoxious that it made you want to punch him for delaying his schedule.

Area opened her mouth again with a cold face.

“I would like to make a suggestion.”

[proposal? “Okay, I’ll try to say it.]

“The reason why Ygrel, who rules the skies of Pahe Forest, is with us in such an inconvenient way is because we can’t keep up with Ygrel’s speed, right?”

[yes. As I said, having a human on my back is impossible. Just to be clear, it’s not okay to hang on to my claws. I cannot allow Ygrel to be used as a mount by humans.]

Ygrel said arrogantly.

But that wasn’t Area’s intention. Area asked calmly.

“Then can I take this to mean that we will not go at such a slow pace as long as we can keep up with Master Ygrel’s speed?”

[…That’s right, right? But how?]

Ygrel looked at Area with suspicious eyes.

‘How can a human subject keep up with my speed?’

“There is a way to keep pace with Ygrel. “We can fly together.”

It wasn’t a flight spell. //It’s a magic that consumes a lot of magical power, and there are only two wizards.

Area had a secret trick.

However, he was reluctant to reveal that method in front of Igrel, who could not be called an ally if not an enemy.

Although he had been hesitating the whole time, the cool-headed Area also became impatient once he entered the Forest of Pahe.

Helmut was somewhere in the center, and I didn’t want to delay.

‘If you haven’t met Igrell, you can’t use this method anyway.’

Flying over the Forest of Pahe means being exposed to the sight of countless monsters.

Ygrell is not the only flying monster, so the attack range of the monsters will not necessarily remain on the ground.

However, no monster will dare attack those with Igrel, so they can fly safely.

[How do you guys grow up? [With magic?]

If there was such a method, Igrel did not ask why it was not brought up earlier. He had realized that it was a hidden trick of Area.

Area wordlessly spread her hands into the air.

The magic that fills the forest of Pahe interferes with the implementation of magic.

It is difficult for even the Grand Wizard to freely use magic here, but her abilities are not there yet.

Therefore, more magic power and concentration were needed than usual.

However, without fail, the pure white magical power that bloomed from Area’s hands shone.

Jiing!

A round circle appeared in the air.

An entrance that starts from a very small point and quickly becomes huge.

Area muttered a spell softly.

“Gate of Light.”

A subspace corresponding to a part of the dungeon was summoned.

‘As expected, there are restrictions on contact with subspace in Pahe’s Forest. It’s not possible to completely open the dungeon, but it is possible to take something out of it.’

Subspaces such as dungeons that embody a single world can basically only be opened in a stable environment. It is a high-difficulty magic in itself.

Entering the dungeon in a place full of oppressive magical energy like the Forest of Pahe is impossible, even for an archmage.

Ygrel watched the scene unfolding before his eyes with curious eyes.

Even for the ruler of the southern region who had lived for countless years, this was his first time seeing proper magic.

[Is it magic? It opens up space! You are quite a skilled wizard!]

And a huge object protruded from the entrance filled with white light.

thud!

Everyone’s eyes were focused.

It fell to the ground, kicking up dust, and was so huge that it was half the size of Ygrel’s body.

The object, which had a metallic golden color, looked like a rock. A huge rock heavily engraved with magic circles.

However, there were long cracks here and there, which suggested that it could be separated into pieces.

As the subspace was closed, a ray of sweat appeared between Alea’s eyebrows.

A large amount of magical energy was consumed in an instant. She reached into her pocket, took out a magic stone, and grabbed it.

The magic stone, whose magic power was rapidly drained, soon turned into an ordinary stone and crumbled in my hand.

Then, Sian suddenly muttered.

“Is it a golem?”

Asuka sounded suspicious.

“It just looks like a rock? “If you look anywhere, it’s a golem.”

Xian spoke in a confident tone.

“That magic circle is definitely a golem. Come to think of it, Archmage Lampione was very knowledgeable about golems. But this is my first time seeing a golem of that type. Golems are originally made in a specific shape. But that thing has no shape. “There’s no way that’s true.”

Instead of explaining, Area opened her mouth and pointed towards Ygrel.

“copy.”

purr.

As soon as the engraved master’s command was given, the rock began to move.

At high speed, the cracked parts opened, separated, and reassembled. And soon a new form was drawn.

The object of imitation was clear.

Ygrel.

Geeeeee!

The bifurcated body stretched out smoothly in the air, forming wings.

It consists of a relatively small body in the center, formed above it by a head and a sharp beak. Below are long legs and claws.

Soon, standing there was a huge bird with a metallic gold color.

A new-shaped golem slightly smaller than Ygrel.

Although not every single feather was implemented in detail, the flapping wings showed that flight was possible.

Suddenly, a memory flashed through my mind. Area muttered with a clouded face.

“To put this deformed golem in my hands….”

After listening to Heike’s words and exploring deep into the dungeon, Area discovered this golem hidden by Rampione.

A powerful magical settlement that is probably the only one in this world.

Area broke off contact with Helmut and began breaking through the layers of barriers that Rampione had placed in order to secure the golem.

Because I thought that if I had to fight a temple, the transformation golem would be of great help.

Ultimately, the choice became a handshake. It took longer than Area thought to break through the barrier and take control of the golem.

And while he was completely immersed in it and lost contact, Helmut was betrayed and driven out to the Forest of Pahe.

But anyway, Area obtained this golem.

Igrel, who was watching the golem’s change with bright eyes, asked curiously.

[That thing flies in the sky? If it’s metal, isn’t it heavy?]

“When switching to the flying type, lightening magic and wind magic are activated. It is designed to back up the embodied form with magic.]

“Wow, why didn’t you tell me there was such a thing!”

As Sian exclaimed, Asuka shook her head.

“He doesn’t think of us as friends. Look how unfriendly you have been so far. “They just tell you to shut up and follow me.”

“I took it out because I needed it, not something to use as a spectacle.”

Area, who spoke clearly, immediately turned her head towards Ygrel.

“Ygrell, you can head to the central area. “We will follow right away.”

[Do you think something like that could come after me?]

“Yes.”

Igrel was speechless for a moment at Area’s clear answer. But he soon made a threat.

[Then follow me. Instead, if you feel like you’re falling behind, I’ll walk again!]

Ygrel slowly began to flap his wings. The wind carrying the demon energy rising from the giant bird struck the four humans.

His body slowly lifted into the air.

Igrel was trying to slowly head towards the central area while leisurely getting his feathers prepped.

All he has left is time. I had decided to make good use of these people.

However, the problem was that he had not been able to fly for the past few days and was aching.

He’s a bird.

A bird’s instinct is to fly in the sky.

Ygrel wanted to fly over the forest of Pahe, showing off his neatly trimmed feathers to other monsters.

‘It’s going to be hard to keep up with my speed anyway, so I’ll just pretend to go with you and then fly fast to roughly beat you. Then, why don’t we just go back and make the excuse that you’re too slow and ask us to walk again?’

As Ygrel rose into the sky, Area gave instructions with a hand gesture.

“Get on my back. “I follow right away.”

As the four people quickly climbed onto the bird’s back, four saddles appeared in a row on the bird’s back.

“Wow what? “Isn’t this really amazing?”

Xian stuck out his tongue. He was a wizard, but even in the eyes of a wizard, he was an unusual golem.

Area sat in the front and wore a metal belt around her waist that bound her body.

“Come on, sit down.”

They all sat down together in that order, Charlotte Asuka, and wore metal belts around their waists.

Everyone adjusted their waists as if they were anxious. Sitting on a bird and flying is something I have never experienced before.

By the time they all finished preparing, Ygrel had already reached the top of the sky and was looking down at them as if urging them on. A huge shadow covered them.

“let’s go.”

When Area gave the command, the golem gathered its wings.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

Soon the golem’s legs kicked off the floor and shot into the sky like an arrow.

Whiing!

When it reached the skies close to Ygrel, both wings spread out in a parabolic shape.

The golem stopped in midair.

However, the recoil shook the entire bodies of the passengers.

“Ugh!”

Asuka screamed as her body was thrown and the metal band was pulled tight.

No matter how courageous a prosecutor he is, that is a job on earth, not in heaven.

Before I knew it, the bottom was a long way away. It was a height that evoked instinctive fear. It was my first time flying this high.

I felt dizzy as my body was shaken by the swirling wind.

“Ugh!”

Xian also groaned while summoning the wind spirit.

Charlotte turned pale and said nothing. It seemed like he was losing his mind due to his fear of heights.

Sian protested.

“Why is this starting without warning! “Shouldn’t you flap your wings and fly up slowly?”

“This is a golem, not a real bird. The method may be a little different. Instead, it will be faster. “It’s incomparable to walking.”

Area responded calmly to the point of being annoying.

In fact, it was her first time implementing this golem as a flying type.

‘It’ll be okay. ‘I’ve tested its stability.’

She calmly thought that since there were two wizards, they wouldn’t die even if they fell.

Igrel tilted his head as he looked at the golem that quickly flew up after him.

[It’s pretty fast, huh? Okay then, shall we try flying?]

Igrel, who had a strong desire to win, flapped his wings vigorously.

Even though it is assisted by magic, something like a golem will not be able to keep up with my speed.

Ygrel was sure.

‘Follow me somewhere.’

We will fly with all our might from the beginning!
